About this cause
PROGRAMMES: Food co-ops and exercise dance classes addressing the high incidence of poor diet related ill health and lack of physical exercise. Community projects supporting long-term unemployed people to access work or to launch their own new co-operative or social enterprise. PEOPLE SUPPORTED: We focus on working with disadvantaged people and communities in terms of unemployment, limited income and poor diet related ill health. CHANGING LIVES: Our users or participants increase their income, wealth and self-confidence when they access work with our help and advice. Also, the participants in our health and well-being projects become much healthier, fitter and so more self-confident and so keen to engage with other people and projects in the community.
How this cause brings people in the community together
The young people who we train will gain skills and self-confidence as they learn to cook for themselves and their friends and family. The participants will become healthier and so more able to attend school, training and also to work. The impact will be to make a healthier, more cohesive community and so a better place to live.
